So who is Eboz?

Techcrunch caught up with the hacker at the end of 2012, after he took down over 280+ websites in Pakistan (including Apple.pk & Google.pk).

Eboz is a self-styled hacker’s hacker and focuses mostly on gaining root access to servers and sometimes defacing them. He is young, full of braggadocio, and seems to be the real deal. We attempted, as best we could, to confirm his identity and he even defaced a site in my name, which was a charming if off-putting experience. He showed, in short, that web security is laughable and that a 21-year-old from Turkey can, with a bit of work, take down some of the biggest sites on the web.

When eboz was asked about what sort of information he takes out of these websites he responded,

Most information include, which you probably didn’t want to hear, ‘credit cards’, ‘bank accounts’, and ‘social-accounts’, and others… and i’ve hacked NASA a few times, tried getting evidence of UFOs.

And that ladies and gentlemen is why he went after Skrillex’s site. Eboz was after the mothership.
